Hi all, I haven't actually DONE this, so maybe I shouldn't put my 2 cents in, but can't you refine the polarization factor by using a standard such as Y2O3 and fixing the structure and thermal parameters of the standard while refining the polarization angle? The angle so obtained should agree with what the theory tells you for your diffractometer configuration, but it seems more comforting to verify it by a measurement. - Kurt
